Friday, February 29th, 2008

This is one of those stories that absolutely crushes your heart as your fingers hit the keyboard.

A teenage boy is accused of fatally shooting his mother and her two little girls, one of whom was the 4-year-old daughter of rap star Juvenile. Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., 17, was charged Friday with murder in the deaths at the family home near Lawrenceville, where the bodies were found the night before, said police spokeswoman Illana Spellman.

Authorities are yet determine a motive, but they can’t pursue the death penalty because the accused is a minor.

My heart goes out to Juve and his people. Please pray for all the families involved.

Personal anticipation for The Odd Couple just reached fever pitch. Too bad they’re pulling the plug after album No.2.

The video director Rik Cordero is like the Spike Lee of hip-hop videos. Even with a $20 budget, he helped these brothers create one hell of a grimy video. Rising Down in stores on April 29th.

Video: Joe Budden - Talk to ‘Em

Thursday, February 28th, 2008


Kinda disappointing, considering how dope the song is. There are some many things Joey could’ve done with this video if he was serious about dissing his favorite rapper. One great move would’ve been a cameo by a real life camel. Or a senior citizen rocking a pair of Phonaks. I’m just saying…

It sure feels good to hear the GOAT on the mic again. This is one of four previously unreleased songs on Live, Lost, & Found. The only excuse not to cop this on March 4 is being broke.
